[QUOTE="Originality, post: 4930495, member: 123382"] I find that if you're going to get a graphics card for less than $100, you're better off just using the Intel or AMD integrated graphics (the graphics in AMD APUs are about twice as good as Intels) and saving up until you can get a better graphics card. Personally I wouldn't get anything lower than a GTX 650 or Radeon HD7770. That's why I got the GTX 750 Ti for the build I made today. Now for the promised review (albeit briefly): [URL='http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2013/06/12/intel-core-i5-4670k-haswell-cpu-review/1']Intel Core i5-4670K[/URL] is nearly identical to my [URL='http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/01/03/intel-sandy-bridge-review/12']i5-2500K[/URL], which is to say it's about as good as it gets without HyperThreading.
